What is with congress in trying to control the internet? Don't they have better things to do like trying to fix the economy? You know, something that matters.
How many of these Internet censorship bills have actually passed? I swear this is like the fourth or fifth one they proposed.

The internet is pretty much the last thing governments have no control over. Mass piracy and the organizing of various riots this summer proves that. Most important, the internet is the number 1 place where people can show wrongdoings by said government on a mass scale. Think police brutality or political scandals. Because of the internet, such events go around the country in less than a day. That is too strong a medium not to have at least some influence on. But for the last 20 years hardly any law has been created to directly apply to the internet.
I'm hoping it's to late to pass any kind of law now, but unfortunately not even all of the internet can fight against a few million dollars in bribes. This is going to happen one day. Just a matter of deciding if we let it go down without a fight.
